Start Options
3. If you want the computer to ask for the power-on password,
ensure that Password Prompt is set to "On". If this option is
set to "Off", the computer will still require the password but
will not ask for it.
◊ If you do not enter the password on start-up, the keyboard
is inoperative! To get round this you may have to boot
from a floppy disk in the A: drive.
When the computer is next turned on or rebooted, the user is
required to enter the password. If the Password Prompt is set 'On',
the following prompt will be displayed:
Type your password, then press Enter.
If the Password Prompt option is set to 'Off', the user is not
prompted at all but will wait for the user to type the password and
press ENTER. It is important that authorised users of the computer
are told to expect this, or they may think that the computer has
stopped working.
The user is allowed three attempts to enter the correct password. If
they fail the computer is locked and must be switched off. Turning
the computer on again restarts the sequence.
To change or delete the password, select the appropriate option.
You may be asked for the existing password to allow any change or
deletion.
Administrator Password
The administrator password can be set up in the same way as a
power-on password. If you define both an administrator and a
power-on password, the computer will only allow you to enter
Setup by using the Administrator's password.
Certain features can be set or enabled automatically when the
computer boots.
